The custom stage creation tool was easy to use via the Wii U GamePad. Users can draw any terrain shape, add items with the stylus, and immediately test the stage against a CPU.

Super Smash Bros. will include brand new features including Smash Tour: World Smash, a board game mode; Special Smash Mode to fight with special parameters; Coin Battles to compete to collect coins; Stamina Matches to fight until hit points reach zero; Classic Mode to allow one or two players to fight through a series of battles; All-Star Mode to fight opponents in chronological, and Event Mode for one or two players to take on set character and theme-based battles.

Both the Wii U and Nintendo 3DS SKU include online multiplayer functionality to battle users on their respective platforms.

Each SKU includes a distinct set of battle arenas.

Finally, Ridley will appear in the Metroid series-inspired Pyrosphere stage.
